It seems that everyone has already jumped onto the artisanal coffee bandwagon, and although it's an amazing caffeinated journey, you gotta wonder... What's next?
There are certainly ways to bring it to the next level, and that's what we'll witness in the collaboration between Coffex Coffee and Singleton Selects
Singleton Selects has been actively creating a creative F&B movement with their inceptions of unique eat-drink experiences for Malaysians. They recently kickstarted with a whisky-infused ice cream bar and they're back to breaking boundaries again. This time around, they're infusing whisky to... coffee!
This new collaboration between Singleton Selects and Coffex Coffee explores the fusion of the flavours of rich, dark coffee mixed with smooth single malt whiskies for the perfectly-balanced artisanal cocktails.
There's a method to the madness of it all. Mixologist, Kelvin Lee, holds the key to the secret and art of mixing coffee and whisky, creating four exclusive cocktail flavours.
